State of Colorado / Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) Marshall Fire After-Action Report and Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) Tidal Basin supported the Colorado DHSEM in developing an AAR/IP to capture outcomes, strengths, areas for improvement, and recommendations from the State’s response to and recovery from the 2020 Marshall Fire, the most destructive fire in Colorado’s history. The AAR planning team conducted an initial stakeholder briefing for all anticipated participants, then engaged state departments, impacted jurisdictions, and external partners in a comprehensive information-gathering process that included group and individual interviews and document analysis to inform the report. We conducted multiple interviews with representatives from various organizations at local, state, and federal levels. The report organized all findings into pre-determined focus areas – strengths, potential best practices, and areas for improvement were detailed in the AAR. The IP listed and summarized recommendations to close identified gaps and improve future responses. An internal briefing was conducted for the State Coordination Group, followed by a second stakeholder briefing. The professionally designed final report incorporated ADA- recommended accessibility requirements, including accurate reading order for screen readers. Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (OAHHS) / Oregon Research and Education Foundation (OREF) COVID-19 After-Action Report and Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) Tidal Basin supported the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (OAHHS) with the development of a comprehensive After-Action Report and Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) for the Association’s response to COVID-19; internally, with respect to continuity and operations and externally, in its support and advocacy of its member institutions. To begin the process, we gathered and reviewed relevant data to determine trends, challenges, and best practices specific to OAHHS’ preparedness for and response during the pandemic as well as the impact of wildfires across the state that occurred concurrently with the COVID-19 response and impacted operations. Following that review, our team facilitated a series of interviews with stakeholders, board members, and focus groups and developed and released an online survey focused on the ongoing response to the Delta Variant surge. The project culminated with the development of the AAR/IP. The final document included a timeline, observations and analysis, strengths, and areas for improvement.
